A few solutions to this problem. Oh, wait, it was in CA. Might want to reconsider the one one bottom.

A 2-year-old girl is recovering after she was bitten and dragged by a coyote at a Southern California cemetery.
The Orange County Register reports Klarissa Barrera, of Long Beach, was given a rabies shot and treated for a 2 1/2-inch gash on her calf.
She was attacked 10 feet from her mother Thursday as the family visited a relative's grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress.

A Wrist-Rocket sling shot will also do a good job on Coyotes
This is no where near wilderness.
Dang...ya’ll take guns with you when you go to visit a relative’s grave?
I think the coyote had a problem. I hate that the child is having to undergo rabies treatment, but it seems suspicious that one would go after a child that close to other people.
At least it would in my world.
We have coyotes around here and we’re in the city! In a subdivision.
You ever seen, a coyote? I’ve killed a bunch. Just had one cross in front of myself and a CHP on 395, close to town, 2 days ago. A wrist rocket? Show me how it’s done, I will provide the live varmint targets, and pay good money. All you got to do is kill one coyote, with a wrist rocket.
If there’s a cub nearby, the mother will act to move threats away from the cub.
Per N&V post...this isn’t a wilderness area I guess.
So you may well be right regarding the pups.
I have a momma raccoon who comes around before dark and eats right out of my hand. She reaches and takes pieces of cookie I hand to her. But later in the night, when she brings her fice kits around (cute little buggers are less than six inches long each, not counting tails), I cannot reach out or she will snap at my hand. I wear gloves when the kits are around, but her earlier visits I need no protection at all, she is as gentle as can be.
According to the article, three other coyotes were shot and killed at the cemetery.
There is a den somewhere close by, perhaps in the cemetery under a monument, I would bet.
You’re likely right.
Actually there is a lot of places where the coyotes travel up culverts and channels, there is still undeveloped land in the cemetery where the animals can hide. Coyotes have been sighted all over Cypress, Buena Park,Anaheim, etc. They roam the residential street where my Brother in Law lives in Buena Park. Man has pushed the wildlife out and nit has been moving back for some time.
I grew up on a ranch and we had wrist rockets. I saw few coyotes within wrist rocket range for more than a few seconds and even if you were lucky enough to hit one, it wouldn’t kill him.
I shoot coyotes on my property when I see them. They eat my cats and I need the cats to control the rattlesnakes.
The wildlife has not been pushed out. They have adapted. Good grief. Look at the records of animal contact in the LA basin, since it became LA. NY is the same. As is, in all metro areas.

One of our local “coyotes”.
